THE COOPERATIVE CONGRESS.

Before the English Cooperative Con-
gress now in session, representing five
millions of working men, Mr.. Holyoake
took occasion TO explain the wreiched
condition of English laborcrs fifty years
ago, and compared it with their present
state.
The TIMES long ago explained in out
line the principles of this system, which
constitute the key 20 the final adjust
ment Of the relations Of labor and CAPT.
tai. 1t is 10 be understood that the man
ual laborer is not the only laborer, that
the brain laborer is on the same footing
and that capital must not be COMPOUNDED
with the class Of laborers who represent
a skilled and technical kind of labor, and
merely utilize capital for their own ben
eft and for that Of the manual laborers.
The speaker and others OF the congress
compared such q sound and practical
scheme as this with the "SCatc Socialism
Of the Continent and all its weakness
and attendant evils They claimed, very
Justly, that IL was not the interest Of any
wise statesman to discourage co-opera-
tors who preached no doctrine Of indus
trial despair, who did not hang on the
skirts of the State, who enyied no class,
and counscled no war on property The
working classes Of England they urged,
had obtained by cooperation what they
never could have earned by competition.
The 100000 men who live under this
system have bank that does a business
of $sOOOOOOO a year. They own llOO
stores that DO business TO the amount of
S15O,OOOOOO.
1t has taken some time to get that many
men and their families up to This stage of
perfection in a great social and mercan-
tile organization, but note the wise
words Of Mr. IIolyoake Tie says that
there Is no socialism or communism in
it. 1t is socially and politically sound
and practical and appeals to human sym
patty and natural laws not violence and
prejudice 1t does not war ON property
and capital. but croites them, and aims TO
elevate every man and G0asit all by just
principles
